Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 149



clash (3)

“Is this your first time seeing your face properly?”

The smiling face didn’t contain an ounce of murderous intent but even so the greatsword in his hand swung confidently and aimed precisely at Lennok’s waist.

Ugh!

It’s a powerful attack that if hit properly wouldn’t be surprising if it broke one’s spine.

Lennok’s eyebrows rose slightly as he noticed the strange shape of the wide sword with thick dark red veins.

Even at a glance it looks like it could be called a magic sword.

It would be best to hold on with the shield and launch a counterattack… but is that what Irina is aiming for now that the attack and defense are blocked?

The thoughts were short and the conclusion was made in an instant.

Accept it.

The enormous amount of magical power that Lennoc had brought up was superimposed on his right arm and began to rotate soon turning into a bright blue whirlwind of electricity.

[Lightning Vortex]

I’m so sorry!!!

The long-range artillery fire fired at close range and the great sword wielded by Irina clashed.

Quaaaaaaa!!

A shock wave explodes with a roar. The floor which had once cracked and split apart collapsed heavily and at the same time the two people standing at the center of the earthquake escaped in different ways and stood facing each other.

“……..”

Even though it was my first time meeting face to face I felt like I was meeting someone I knew.

That might be because we’ve been going through a period of deep worry over the past week thinking only about each other.

But before speaking to her Lennok cast his gaze outside the villa.

Vast magical power detection ability covering a radius of several kilometers. This was because there was an incident within that scope that could not be overlooked.

More than dozens of signs. Each and every life reaction with faithful magical power was running here in perfect order jumping over a long distance.

“That’s ironic.”

Irina said with a calm expression as she adjusted her greatsword.

The great sword in her hand was still pulsating like a living heart pulsating with unpleasant veins.

“I never would have thought that the one remedy we made to protect this villa would actually be more helpful than the countless methods we prepared to catch and kill him. “I guess this is why you can’t be sure about people’s work.”

“Even in this situation there is no change in the life response felt inside the villa.”

Lennok answered.

“But still there are more than a dozen people running from outside the villa right now.”

It’s not for nothing that Dylan and Mila searched every room in the villa after they first entered.

Although it was important to secure the identity of Irina Pesfield it was difficult to easily track her location due to the life reactions that filled the villa.

However the fact that Irina Fesfield had now appeared and that an exploration team from outside was belatedly narrowing the siege indicated only one fact.

Irina left ‘people to be sacrificed’ inside the villa solely to deceive the intruders and buy time.

“The range and keenness of the senses possessed by an outstanding magician are insurmountable but… it is not difficult to deceive an already existing life response as someone else’s.”

“……..”

No it’s not. Lennok’s ability to detect magical power was not weak enough to be fooled by such a shallow trick.

Nevertheless it would be correct to think that Lennok’s failure to notice this method was ultimately one of the abilities of the countless artifacts possessed by the Arashak Ruins Exploration Team.

As if to answer that question the translucent badge hanging on Irina’s shoulder sparkled.

“Knick’s insignia. “It is a type of artifact that hides your identity by randomly disguising life reactions within a certain range.”

Dylan said as he walked out next to Lennok.

“I heard it was an item from Duris Workshop that has now been completely discontinued but I managed to keep that precious item.”

“Oh but you still have eyes that are uncharacteristic of a mercenary. “I thought there was no one left in this city who had an eye for treasure.”

“……..”

“That’s why I left here a long time ago. Hehe it’s a very unpleasant place. “This needlessly large city.”

Irina smiled brightly as she said that.

Doo doo doo doo doo!!

At the same time heavy footsteps start to be heard outside.

There was no need to think about whose side the approaching people were on.

“I was a little surprised. “It was hard to expect that he would take action so quickly after our conversation that day.”

“……..”

“Your actions so far and your response to the troubles that have occurred with my exploration group have been quite passive so I thought you could rest assured until preparations were completed… but I was wrong.”

“But still you dug a trap in case I attacked first.”

“yes. “It wasn’t difficult.”

Irina obediently answered Lennok’s words.

No one here knew that it was just a ploy to buy time but both Lennok and Dylan waited quietly.

Dylan loved Lennok because Lennok trusted his own judgment.

“It was difficult to predict that attack but on the other hand I knew that it would not be strange if anything happened in this city.”

I didn’t think Lennok would try to attack first right away but did you mean that I had prepared for any unexpected situation through my experience in the Balkans?

It appears that the time she spent in the Balkans was quite a harsh experience.

Enough to completely counter his attack with just a trap that wasn’t prepared for Lennok.

Da da da da da!!

Kwaaaang!!

Dozens of exploration team members burst through the door.

In addition signs of surrounding and approaching people can be felt from the windows and roof of the villa.

Staring at Dylan and Lennok with sharp gazes each of their hands held equipment that radiated unusual magical power.

“half. Can you see it?”

Dylan muttered as he pulled out the two daggers he was wearing on his thighs.

“Those are all artifacts.”

“…..okay.”

Artifacts with various abilities including blades and accessories shine dizzyingly within the field of view.

It was not simply used for combat but from the moment it came into sight it was suppressing Lennok’s magical power and hindering the development of magic.

A feast of items carefully selected to deal with just one wizard.

It was easy to see at a glance how much effort Irina had put into killing Lennok.

The composition is completely different from before.

On the way inside the villa a fat man with a huge hammer is waiting and on the way out dozens of members led by Irina are waiting.

Irina’s words continue even after all the ideas in her head have been perfectly translated into reality.

“It was a mistake to come here with a team that wasn’t even enough to make up a squad. “If there had been no members in the villa they would have immediately realized that it was a trap and retreated but the mediocre military presence would have interfered with their decision.”

“……..”

“The sacrifice of the members is painful… but it is unavoidable if there is something that needs to be recovered. “What our exploration team had to do was decided from the beginning.”

Irina’s momentum as she slowly raised her magic power and took a step forward was strong enough to make even Dylan who was standing next to her flinch.

Although I could intuit it from the feat she showed with the great sword earlier she was also a very skilled warrior.

“I’ll admit it. “I’m not that different from dirty freelancers.”

Huh!!

The great sword was swung and a red arc spread across the sky.

“But at the end of the day this is the way to live in this city. “I will pay for the blood shed by Brooke and my members right here and now.”

“That’s funny. “Is there a set method?”

Lennok couldn’t hold back his laughter at Irina’s words and let out a faint sneer.

“It’s a world where you can’t control whether you live or die. “Wouldn’t it make you feel better if you rationalized yourself with plausible nonsense?”

“……..”

“You may have thought you had succeeded in keeping me on my toes by biding my time for this moment but how much do you really know about me?”

Lennok who shook off the cigarette ash in his mouth continued speaking.

“It took time to gather all of the exploration team’s strength. “It’s not something you’ve been waiting for alone.”

“…..Because you’re cornered you start spouting out strange nonsense. “Start!!”

With those words that Irina shouted through gritted teeth the magic energy released by the members all fell toward the center of the villa.

At the same time the members behind them began rushing towards Dylan and Lennok.

“half!!”

“know.”

Irina laughed at Lennok’s foolishness in attacking first into the villa with only three people but could she really call it a mistake?

Ultimately no one can know the answer until they know the direction this battle is taking.

As a result Irina would never have appeared in front of Lennok without confidence in victory.

Like a grave robber who has been wandering the continent for a very long time exploring buried ruins he must have been hovering around Lennok looking for a fatal opportunity.

But Lennok had no time to wait for that decisive moment.

There is so much to do.

Following Yakseon’s instructions he retrieved Malabeth from the drug lord’s safe.

And meeting the next lighthouse keeper and getting clues about all this.

It was an overwhelming and difficult task for him now.

“There is no time to linger here.”

The reason why we hired only Dylan and Mila and headed straight to this villa.

The reason why the operation began immediately with only Sebastian’s information.

Does Irina Fesfield realize that all the moments that made the other party feel like they had a good chance of winning were just to hasten the moment when they would clash?

No if you don’t know it’s okay to let them know from now on.

“Mila.”

The moment Lennok whispered the name of his third colleague in a low voice.

Kwaaaaaa!!

The floor of the first floor of the villa collapsed and a huge shock wave erupted.

The members of the exploration team suddenly lost their balance and stumbled downwards.

“Aaaah!!”

“On the floor of the bar!!”

“Surely you’ve been hiding down here avoiding the leader’s eyes!!”

Below Mila who was waving her wild hair burst into laughter.

In her dusty hands two heavy shotguns were shining with heated magical power.

“Khahahahaha!!! Search everything you fucking bastards!!”

Taang!! Taang!!

At the same time Dylan who has his sword drawn stabs the two daggers into the members’ necks and randomly stirs up the unbalanced group of investigators.

A very brief gap created by two people. And while Irina was wasting time Lennok prepared the most powerful move.

Was this your first time showing it to Antares’ mercenary group?

Now it’s probably irrelevant.

With mighty will he struck down his magic power into the air.

Area activated.

Paaaaaa!!!

At the same time a colorless wave spreads in all directions like a ripple.

It does not end with a single ringing but rings two or three times constantly shaking the space.

In the end this area is placed in Lennok’s hands.

A feeling of exaltation as if the magic power that exists in every space that touches the senses can be held in one hand.

The magical power manipulation ability was amplified to the limit inside the area.

I feel it.

The limits of one’s own abilities. The sound of Lennok’s talent shattering and completely destroying that boundary.

[Ma Master.]

There was no time to listen to what Dabi was panicking about.

I borrow her abilities naturally as if in passing.

Gosran’s extremely powerful computing power and hacking ability that can directly interfere with electronic equipment.

I grabbed that thought and massaged it as I wanted turning it into a single wave.

Manipulate the range of possible interference and apply it to reality.

What you want is to interpret and unleash the magic power contained in the artifact.

Paang!

At the same time as I hoped a very faint dark green wave swept around the surroundings.

At the same time the artifacts in the members’ hands began to overheat.

It’s a joke!!!

“Oh what!!”

“no!!”

“Everyone get away from him!! This is..!!”

Those who noticed the reverse flow of magic power bouncing from the artifact they were holding in their hands changed their complexions but it was already too late.
